shogun stuff...

[Seven.the.Hun]

is there anything available, for a turn-based campaign for the mongol invasion in shogun??? a mod perhaps? not just a series of battles that my warlord game has...just curious http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

There is a Mongol campaign available in the Warlord Edition/Mongol Invasions version. You can select it from the full campaign section of the game. There are arrows (right and left) that allow you to select Sengoku Jidai, 1530, 1550, 1580, and Mongol Invasion. They are easily overlooked.

In the Mongol Invasion campaign you play the Hojo, and must defend all of Japan against the Mongols, who land in massive force on the island of Kyushu. Your troops will be spread all over Japan, so the challenge is getting them where you need them quickly, and building more as soon as you can.

Buddhist warrior monks, arquesbusiers, musketeers and other Japanese units are not available in this campaign like they would be in the others. This corresponds to the warriors that were present in this time period.

I've found that it's best to try and contain them on Kyushu. If you allow them to spread to the mainland, it can be very difficult to oust them. If you can prevent them from conquering a lot of provinces, they will not get as many reinforcements--the number of reinforcements they get is based on the amount of koku they pillage. Note that subsequent reinforcements WILL land on the mainland, so--as a good general should--cover your *ss ;).

Enjoy m8, I hope this helps.

There are a some mods for STW, but I can't remember all the names now.

Or you can DL the STW Campaign Editor and make your own campaign. Very easy to use.

yes, i have warlord addition, played as hojo and mongols, BUT its only a series of battles...
i am wondering as to playing as mongols or hojo in this, and actually being able to build buildings and spies and going through it all as a campaign just like the rest of the game...mori/shimazu/takeda...ect.
mongols invade and can build in japan, hojo defends...

To play a full campaign with the Mongols, just follow Togakure Ojonin's instructions: select full campaign and use the left/right buttons next to the map of Japan to switch to the Mongol campaign.

yeah but i mean, cant they build stuff?

The Hojo can build stuff. I'm not sure about the Mongols, though I know they don't build army units - those come from overseas based on how well the plundering is going.

To recommend a good STW/WE mod, try barocca's Japan's Darkest Days. When it came out, a number of people commented how challenging the mod was. It is basically like a regular STW campaign except one of the factions (Oda?) is replaced with the Mongols. It has the added bonus of being an add-on campaign so it doesn't interfer with playing the regular game like some mods do. It doesn't change any stats files as I recall.

No, the Mongols cannot construct buildings apart from watch towers/border forts. The Mongols will get reinforcements from the Khan if they obtain koku by plundering. This is to encourage the Mongol player to be aggressive (more units) and the Hojo player to withdraw slowly (less units for the enemy).

Thanks Ludens. That is what I recalled but I wasn't 100% sure. Mongols don't build - they take. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif

ugh, i didnt see that japan's darkest days mod...i must have overlooked it, is that what the file is called?

[Gregoshi]

Seven, it must be Baroccas_Campaigns (SP Campaign) in the Shogun -> Full Campaigns section of the downloads. I'd confirm, but the download queue wait is 38 minutes (which I don't have at the moment).

Here's the link to the downloads page: STW Full Campaigns (http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/STW/spc.shtml).

I tried to find some comments on the mod from those who have played it, but they must have been made on the old forums.
